Using your eBee X
11.7 Landing
After finishing a mapping mission the drone will, by default¹⁰, return to Home and
automatically initiate a landing.
The eBee X can perform either a Linear or Steep landing. Linear landing is the
default and recommended landing type.
The landing process uses an LiDAR ground sensor to detect the proximity of the
ground.
Caution: Do not attempt to use the ground sensor as a means to
avoid obstacles; in certain conditions it may fail to detect them.
A number of conditions on the environment and the positions of Home and ap-
proach sectors must be met in order for the ground sensor to function correctly
and ensure the accuracy of the landing:
• If the landing spot is not at the same altitude as take-off you must adjust
the landing altitude in
eMotion
, as the drone uses this altitude to level out
and slow down before landing.
Caution: Incorrectly setting the altitude of the Linear landing spot
will decrease the accuracy of the Linear landing and may result in
damage to the eBee X.
• If possible, choose a landing spot that is flat beyond each approach sector
(on the opposite side of the landing spot to the approach) and keep it free
of obstacles, in case the landing needs to be aborted.
• During a landing the drone needs enough power to slow down its descent
using reverse thrust. If the battery descends below 20%, eMotion will raise
a Warning.
